In your reply to this article, you said that if we believe the Bible is a more valuable source of information than quantum mechanics, we should disregard products made using quantum mechanics as valuable. While I agree quantum mechanics certainly has greatly increased our understanding of the universe, I will GLADLY refrain from using any drugs developed after 1980 unless I know they are trustworthy. Why? Most of them have already been proven to be more harmful to us than simply getting over disease the old-fashioned way. Many new drugs have been linked to the increase of disease and even new problems that weren’t around 30 years ago.
Autism and other hereditary problems have also seen a huge increase in recent years. Maybe there’s a reason for that too…..
As for computers, I would never doubt their usefulness. But it has been proven that spending too much time around computers is degenerative. The electromagnetic energy given off by cell phones and headphones can be harmful to us as well, and since I always get headaches from listening to earbuds, frankly I believe that.
I don’t see advancements in technology as a result of evolution or an increase in intelligence. Rather, I see it as inevitable knowledge that has been used as an excuse for us to allow ourselves to become less intelligent. Considering that people find it hard to live without cell phones now, while 20 years ago, cell phones were science fiction, I feel it is safe to say we have become unhealthily dependent on technology.
Why do I see it that way? Consider that everything we know about quantum mechanics and pretty much every other scientific field comes from the natural universe. A universe which was already around when man first appeared. Both the Bible and evolution agree on that. So, theoretically at least, we should be able to say that the knowledge required to make this universe also already existed at the time of its beginning as well. Whether a higher intelligence created us or not, that has to be so.
It simply took us this long to discover these things about our universe. And, since man is creative, we have been able to develop new technologies from the knowledge we discover in nature. However, this is not proof of evolution, because this knowledge was already around; it simply wasn’t discovered yet. Darwin’s “black box” didn’t become a galaxy of information when we first looked inside the cell. It already was a galaxy of information when man first appeared. Nothing has changed in that regard.
